    c1974 Omega Speedsonic - Service

    Hi,

    My first post !

    A little while ago I purchased an Omega Speedsonic, birth year watch and I really love it.

    The battery has gone and although I've found a replacement, I'm not keen on doing it myself.

    Is there anyone on here that would service one of these ?

    Many thanks

    P

    I believe Keitht of this forum is often recommended - I have been researching as well for an electric watch.

    Keith has now fixed and serviced two hummers for me, as well as a Heuer quartz diver, and I've been delighted with his work.

    Does it need a service, or just a battery change?
    Any decent watch repairer (not a key-cutting place) should be able to put a new battery in for you. If you are feeling especially nervous you can remind them how fragile the coils are!
    If it is working OK otherwise I would hold off on a service.

    I have not used them for years, but these guys also specialise in tuning fork watches:

    Easiest way is to search for member Keitht and PM him.

    Sorry, for some odd reason i'm not getting post reply notifications.

    I'll give KeithT a try as Richard Askham has mentioned him previously.

    Thank you and I'll try and look out for replies :D
